I know what you mean, and it was not unlike when Sep led Canc into the velodrome in 2013, head scrambled, and already resigned to losing the sprint.
Today, from quite a long way out, I think they maybe both thought Sagan would win, no matter what. If Dillier stopped taking turns inside the last 10km, Sagan would've dropped him, no problem, and Silvan would possibly have been caught by the others. A great ride, but he isn't ever winning a sprint against the world champ.

Dilly seemed to play right to Sagan’s advantage there by going in front in the velodrome.. I know he was probably fucked after 200km off the front, but if he played it better tactically is there any way he could’ve won that? Was rooting for him to pull a Hayman.
